Man I hate weddings, my aunts service took at least an hour. It was so boring. My means of entertainment was finding funny words and phrases in the bible and chuckling to myself at the vicars out of tune, high volume pitching.

Rai and his parents hadn't come to the service...they were lucky...but he and Mrs Whit attended the reception, which I was pleased about as one weird guy kept staring over at me and giving me some goofy grin. I'd decided that Rai was now not allowed to leave my side while we were here.

I stood next to him as he talked with our mums, I kind of zoned out. Not really listening to anyone. All I kept thinking about was what the team would be doing right now, what they'd all think of me for not being there, if Fanny was going to impress the scout. I then felt a hand in mine. Jumping back to reality I followed where Rai was leading me.

"Where are we going?" I asked as we stepped outside the door.

Rai gave a smirk. "Come on, we can make half time if we go now."

I gasped. "No, Rai I can't my parents will kill me."

"Just tell them that we're going for a walk." He told me.

"I can't lie to them anymore." I shook my head.

"What are you two doing out here?" My dad asked merrily as he came up behind us.

I smiled at him. "Nothing, we're coming in now."

Rai looked at me defiantly and then back at my dad. "Mr Sanban, It's Kuki's tournament final today. Do you mind if we just go? I'll take her and have her back in an hour."

My dad narrowed his eyes at me. "You've got one hour, then I want you back...If your mother finds out, I knew nothing about it."

I nodded. "Agreed. Thanks daddy."

We ran to get some sort of transport to get to moon base.
As soon as we got to the pitch I ran and grabbed some spare kit, quickly changing and running up to the edge of the pitch where Wally was stood watching the game.

"Wally!" I yelled.

He turned to me and his eyes widened. He came to the barrier and helped me as I climbed over.

"How're we doing?" I panted, out of breath.

"Not good, We're one nil down, with half hour to go. Start warming up." He replied.

I obeyed. Looks like I'd got there just in time, Lulu was given a red card for misconduct and arguing with the ref so I ran on.

"Hey Numbuh 3!" Fanny beamed, hi fiving me. "Glad you came."
I smiled back. The whistle blew for us to continue play.

Flevvy scored a goal almost straight away, I grinned at the rush I was getting of the crowds cheer and the excitement

We were ten minutes from the end of play, I dribbled the ball with ease, thanks to Wally's teaching. There were two opposite players in front of me, with a great boot I sent the ball flying between them, past the goal keeper and into the net. The crowd once again cheered.
When the game ended, no more goals were made, meaning that we'd won the tournament. Usually I would be having a huge celebration in the changing rooms with the girls, but my curfew was close and I had to get back soon. I put on my dress and fixed my hair, then rushed out to the front. I jumped when I ran into Wally as I stepped outside the changing rooms.

"Oh, sorry Numbuh 3." Wally chuckled, helping me up. "Great game, This is Josh. He's a scout for finding players for professional soccer teams."

"Hi." I smiled.

Josh smiled back. "Hey. Well played."

"Thanks." I beamed.

Josh turned back to Wally. "Well, I'll definatley say that I've got my eye on this one and the redhead for now. It could be a possible career for you guys, They've got talent."

"They sure have." Wally smirked at me. "Thanks Josh, glad you came."

"Later dude." Josh said as he walked off.

Wally beamed at me. "Great going Numbuh 3, you deserved it."

I was ecstatic. I was about to wrap my arms around him in a hug but was interrupted by Rai.

"Kuki, we have to go!" He said as he appeared from behind the changing room building.

I jumped. "Oh, yeah. Bye Numbuh 4, see you tomorrow!"

"Wait!" Wally hissed as he grabbed my hand to stop me from going. "What's he doing here?"

"He gave me a lift here." I replied, trying to get free and leave.

"Why?"

I shrugged. "I really have to go Numbuh 4. Bye."

We rushed back to the reception where I ran in and found my dad.

"How did it go?" He asked as he danced.

I smiled. "We won!"

He gave a toothy grin and did some of those well known, embarrassing dad dance moves.
"Well, I have to say you were good when I watched you."

"Thanks dad." I smiled.

"Hey!" Rai poked me. I turned and smiled at him. "Well come dance with me!"

From there, the rest of the night was a blast. We danced, laughed and made the most of it.

When we got home my ears were ringing from the music. Mushi had fallen asleep in the car and dad carried her in, upstairs to her room.
I walked up to mine and began getting ready for bed. I'd just changed into my pyjamas when my mother knocked on the door. She smiled as she came in and sat on my bed, I wiped the glitter from my eyes with a wipe and sat next to her.

She smiled at me proudly. "You looked so beautiful today."

I looked back up at her.

"You looked too grown up, but you did look beautiful. You and Rai were getting along well weren't you?"

I nodded.

"See? Isn't it nice to have one day without thinking about soccer?" Mum said to me.

I frowned. Then decided to tell the truth. "Mum, I went to a game today. It was the final and Rai took me during the reception."

Mum's face dropped.

"There was a scout there mum, he said that I was really good and I might be able to take it up professionally when I'm a teenager!" I said with excitement.

My mum looked disappointed for a minute, then looked up at me. "Is this definatley what you want to do Kuki?"

I nodded. "I really like soccer mum."

She sighed. "Well, I suppose I'll have to come and watch you on your next game and see how talented my daughter is for myself."

I gasped. "Really?"

She smiled.
I gave a small squeal as I hugged her tightly.

"I suppose you're old enough to decide what you want, we need to give you space." Mum said softly.

I beamed at her, full of glee.
